Elon Musk slams Apple after company pauses Twitter advertising

[prod]

WebKit is the bane of my existence. It is why I hate all iSheep.

But I'm sure you know Blink was a fork of certain components of WebKit?

Usage does not equal revenue. That has been Twitter's long time problem.

Also, Musk tried to escape his Twitter purchase by alleging that it is filled with bots. I'm not sure Musk has solved that problem either.

Because in the past, Twitter chased away people with money, who are now returning.

Who?

Only Safari allows proper PWA, because Apple doesn't want any competition.

So would the Twitter PWA experience still work on iOS like it would on Android through Chromium?

Then whatever, ignore the Chromium part and replace with Safari in my previous comment.

I am aware of it.

However, supporting iOS and Safari is the 2022 equivalent of making your sites compatible with internet explorer.

Theoretically yes. But it isn't guaranteed without a lot of effort.

I have never had a site that behaves on Chrome on desktop misbehave on Chrome on Android. In Apple's retarded land, that same site will work fine in Safari on desktop, but will not behave the same as Safari on iOS.

Easy fix, just use Safari as your main browser during development, if it can work there, it can work anywhere! /s

Still doesn't work because Apple doesn't maintain compatibility of Safari between desktop and iOS.

And I don't have access to my devtools extensions which speed up development immensely.

I was joking, but yea, I hear you and understand some of the frustrations you speak of.

Apple are very heavy handed with developers. The 30% is one side, another is the inability to choose to use your own payment platform. The recent rulings and app removals ( we have a few ) have to do with forcing app transactions to go through in app purchases so that Apple can get its cut.

Here's an example. We've had app/apps rejected because one of the tabs or menu items go to that companies website. On their website, they appeal for donations or do transactions. This was blocked. The company had to add a custom style that when the app called their webpage, it did not bring up the financial footers or others. And yes, this was a basic redirect to a browser for that particular call, the apps are fully native and perform other functions, this was just so that the client could still share/display their website as well.

Gotta love the smell of pure American greed....
Apple. $$$ rules.

So apple isn't allowed freedom of choice?

No ja well fine.

Maybe Vlan should try and bribe them with a horse?

Want to understand more about how bad Twitter was - watch Modern MBA analysis:

Quite long, but well worth a watch.

CEO of the company publicly challenges one of it's biggest advertisers on it's fee mechanism

CEO is surprised, hurt and offended when said advertiser cuts back on advertising on CEO's platform.

Hoo boy, what a world we live in.

Who?

Generally, people right of left & far-left who were otherwise actively chased away. People who are not stooges of Big Social, Big Tech, Big Pharma and MSM. Wiser and older people holding wealth who tend to not be interested in politics and populism, who tend to hold old and/or organically-build wealth, who naturally gravitate towards centre and right, AKA sense. And normal freedom-loving people, like these:

Hence Twitter blue.

You have your order of events backwards.

Apple severely reduced, when Musk took over, and then pulled it's advertising because Twitter was becoming right-wing friendly, which then lead to Musk prodding Apple.

Suddenly we love defacto duopolies.

Wait until you find out Democrats are the ones trying to force Apple to allow sideloading alternative stores.

What is a Vlan. What silly meme is this now.
